The views expressed with in this editorial don’t necessarily reflect the views of AllHipHop.com or its staff.It seems that AllHipHop, via its Trick Trick interview has caused a bit of a stir.  It probably couldn’t have been timelier in light of the current war over proposition 8 and the fight for marital rights of homosexuals.

RING light-heavyweight champion Joe Calzaghe marked his second US trip with another huge win, this time dominating a faded Roy Jones, Jr this past Saturday (November 8) to a unanimous decision win. The expected early chess match of flurries was broken with 50 seconds left in the first round, as Jones badly stunned and dropped Calzaghe […]

On Wednesday, November 5, 2008, shortly after midnight, Senator Barack Obama addressed his nation for the first time as its soon to be 44th President.

Week 10 started with Jay Cutler and the Denver Broncos doing their best impersonation of John Elway and The Drive. Who know what the remainder of the week will have in store? We’ll just have to wait and find out. For the meantime, we can discuss the games.   While we’re on the topic of […]

It is often said that styles make fights in boxing. On Saturday November 8, when Roy Jones meets with Joe Calzaghe, we will see an excercise in contrast.While both fighters posses the requisite skill and stubborn ego necessary to survive and flourish on a championship level, you see immediately that that’s where the comparison ends.  […]

Is he one of the greatest boxers to ever lace up gloves who wiped out all the boxers in his weightclass or is he a fraud who wasted prodigious talent taking safe fights with mandatory challengers?That’s the central question surrounding how history will view the career of Roy Jones.  Unquestionably supreme in talent and skill, […]

The winds of Change have not only affected our political front but our sports front as well. The NBA and NHL are in full effect. College Football is winding down. The Men’s and Women’s College Basketball season is right round the corner and the MLB always has the “Hot Stove” burning.   So far, in […]

And so we have the change that we fought so hard for; a gigantic monumental step towards the next phase of American evolution. The election of Barack Obama is more than a victory for black people or for any racial subset. More than anything else it was a triumph for the power of youth; for […]

I watched something necessary the other night, necessary for the legitimacy of America and it’s interests around the world. Necessary for it’s religion of capitalism and it’s imperial ambition, which were not curbed in anyway with the election of an African American. Instead they gained perhaps the greatest spokesperson for their cause that they could […]

Have you ever seen that movie, Mo Betta Blues? The lead character is Bleek Gilliam.  He’s a trumpeter; an inspired musical force with a severe case of tunnel vision and dedication to his craft.  His desire to use his body as a vessel for his creativity is surpassed only by his need to stay true […]

As special bonus coverage, the OG Bun B will be updating AllHipHop on his Texas travels as he does radio spots and appearances to get people out to vote.  This will be updated periodically as Bun reports from the field. In this time of fake political rappers, Bun B has always had a legitimate presence […]

Surely you’re reading this while voting or while anticipating your voting or while reveling in the glow of that wonderful feeling that comes from voting and fulfilling your civic duties. Anyway, this column is about kicks and though sports figures aren’t the usual suspects when it comes to making political statements—who has MJ ever endorsed […]

Darchinyan Dominates Mijares The first super flyweight, unification bout in history was supposed to be Cristian Mijares’ coming out party. This was the fight where he finally got a chance to showcase his reputed top 10, pound for pound skills on a national stage. Instead, the normally wild Vic Darchinyan fought a disciplined, perfect fight […]

It’s November, the time of scheduled thanks.  Come the fourth Thursday of this month, we will reflect on all the awesome things that have happened to us this year and figure out who besides us had a hand in making it happen.  Then we will give them a big up by eating a weeks worth […]

It’s the day after Saturday and we had an extra hour to party and bulls**t and here we go again for another Sick Sunday.  I had a Shakir Stewart shout out in last week’s column but unfortunately, it must be replaced with an R.I.P. and a well wish for his children. Mr. Stewart apparently committed […]

Here we are, Week 09. We have eight more weeks to got until the playoffs and believe me; the next few weeks will be very interesting. Every year, when the NFL passes the halfway mark of the season, I think of that one verse Jay-Z had in Brooklyn’s Finest:   Time to separate the pros […]

Halloween is a holiday where things are not always what they seem.  Aside from all the paganism and all that, it’s really a celebration of illusion and projection; of how we can be what we aren’t what we wish to be, or what we wish to be perceived.    In this episode of DIGITS we […]

  Tatou, one of Los Angeles’ hottest nightclubs was all decked out for this event, which married fashion and politics.   There were models running back and forth to the dressing room, personal assistants buzzing away on their crackberries, and huge posters of Abraham Lincoln morphed with the image of Barack Obama.   This evening […]

I moved to Chicago from the suburbs in December of 2005. I picked up my stuff and moved to the big city to follow my dreams. I even remember the small panic attack I had after I signed my lease to live in Hyde Park; an upscale neighborhood on Chicago’s Southside. This was a big […]
